Johan is a cold and calculating killer with a mysterious past, and brilliant Dr. Kenzo Tenma is the only one who can stop him! Conspiracy and serial murder open the door to a compelling, intricately woven plot in this masterwork of suspense.

Although Eva bears an unfathomable hatred for Tenma, she is the only person who can testify as a witness to prove his innocence. She stubbornly refuses to do so until a discussion with Dr. Reichwein brings back old memories of her time with Tenma. With those thoughts come memories of three gunshots, and that it was Johan who Eva saw that night! Meanwhile the evil hand of Robert inches steadily closer to Eva with the intent to kill… Tenma, Nina and Johan all find themselves heading for the one place that holds the key to the mystery—the “Red Rose Mansion.” What really happened there and why? Who is Franz Bonaparta? Will the secret of the birth of the Monster ever be revealed?

I love this series and was having trouble collecting the original release of manga. These perfect editions are wonderful for getting me the whole series finally, and they look terrific. I'll be pre-ordering the rest as soon as possible.

I love these two book editions of Monster. They're a great value and since the series is long I can never find all of the books in order. This is a very intense story with many plot twists and turns. Far as I'm concerned there's never a dull moment. Naomi Urasawa is great at drawing out action, facial expressions and scary, suspenseful moments. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a good mystery tale.

I've long said that Monster is a book that does a great job of building up side characters and filling out time until the next plot revelation. Volume 7 continues this trend, bringing in 4-6 new side characters who may or may not be important for the rest of the series, but still provided some amusement while they were on page. But this late in the series, I'm getting sick of being strung along.

I can't really say that anything of major importance happened in this collection. Tenma dealt with being arrested, but nothing more, Eva is still trying to figure out what she wants to do. Nina is still stuck trying to get all her memories back. Johan is still mysterious and horrifying. Lunge is still simultaneously one step ahead of and behind everyone else in figuring out what happened. There's not a whole lot of this story yet, and it needs to quit stalling.
